President Bush Covers U2
somebody took hundreds of millisecond clips of Bush's speeches and crunched them together so that he sings bloody sunday.
Furthermore, I recorded my first song
Somebody on SA said that they had never heard an 80's hair metal song about ninjas.
So I wrote one.
The result?

I don't normally ask people to do this, but this is important:
Today, the House of Representatives passed a bill that deregulates the telecommunications industry.
What does this mean to you?
It's complicated, but essentially, it means that companies like Google, Youtube, Myspace, and other high-bandwidth companies will have to pay exhorbitant fees. Rather than simply paying bandwidth costs, they could now have to pay the different networks to send traffic.
For instance, let's say Youtube pays a certain amount for bandwidth. Well, unless they choose to pay a lot more than that for essentially a protection scheme from Verizon, Qwest, or other telcos, even though the company pays for a lot of bandwidth you, the user, will not see that improvement.
We are facing an Internet where, even if you own a broadband connection, you will only be able to access your favorite websites at modem speeds unless the companies pay a high price. And if they pay a high price, then that will translate to you, the end user, in the form of subscription costs. The Internet could cease to be free, and start to become a pay-for-use project like cable television.
If you are a registered voter, contact your Senator or Congressmen. Tell them you are against the COPE Act and that you support the Network Neutrality Act.
For more information, visit Google's Website or It's Our Net.
Unless you want the Internet as you know it to be destroyed, do you civic duty. Call your legislators and spread this bulletin. |

Just when I thought I couldn't get any happier today...
The Tom DeLay Defense Website Cites A Colbert Report Interview As Proof Of Liberal Bias.
From ThinkProgress, via Somethingawful.com:
Desperate for Supporters, DeLay Turns to Stephen Colbert
A good sign that Tom DeLay doesnt have the facts on his side: the top source for his latest defense against his critics is Stephen Colbert.
This morning, DeLays legal defense fund sent out a mass email criticizing the movie The Big Buy: Tom DeLays Stolen Congress, by Outfoxed creator Robert Greenwald.
The email features a one-pager on the truth behind Liberal Hollywoods the Big Buy, and the lead item is Colberts interview with Greenwald on Comedy Central (where Colbert plays a faux-conservative, OReilly-esque character). The headline of the fact sheet:
HOLLYWOOD PULLS MICHAEL MOORE ANTICS ON TOM DELAY
COLBERT CRACKS THE STORY ON REAL MOTIVATIONS BEHIND MOVIE
DeLay thinks Colbert is so persuasive, hes now featuring the full video of the interview at the top of the legal funds website. And why not? According to the email, Greenwald crashed and burned under the pressure of Colberts hard-hitting questions, like Who hates America more, you or Michael Moore�
Apparently the people at DeLays legal fund think that Colbert is actually a conservative. Or maybe theyre just that desperate for supporters.
That's right. The DeLay legal fund thinks Colbert's interview is legit.
Oh. My. God. Priceless. |

BRISTOL, N.H. -- State officials said Tuesday that they are concerned about the IPC Upper Dam in Bristol and have begun evacuating residents downstream.
Officials said that they found broken bolts on a side beam of the steel dam. Route 104 in and out of town was closed down. Police and fire officials said they were evacuating residents in case the dam breaks.
Several homes and businesses would be in the path of floodwaters if a dam were to burst. Officials said that they had been keeping an eye on two dams on the Newfound River, both of which were clogged with debris.
An emergency shelter has been set up at the high school.
That's part of the highway near our house. I think we can still get to it though.

The construction guys will hopefully have the driveway and everything fixed by the end of the week. Then hopefully we'll get some help from FEMA, financially. |
